From VOA Learning English, this is the EducationReport.
The United NationsChildren's Fund is appealing to international donors to help provide education money for Syrian schoolchildren. Safe places to learn, teachers and supplies are all lacking, and almost 2 million young Syrian students have dropped out of school.UNICEF says about 40 percent of students from grades one to nine across the nation no longer attend formal classes. UNICEF spokeswoman Marixie Mercado says about half of those children are now refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey. In the northern city of Aleppo, for example, only six percent of children of school age are in classrooms. But the school year there and in other locations began as planned on September 15th. Talk of a military strike by the United States had caused uncertainty about starting classes. But, schools opened after a strike appeared less likely. Still, many children who once walked to school are now taken there by their parents. And other families have simply left the country. Lebanon now is trying to help about 550,000 school-age Syrian refugee children. UNICEF says the Lebanese public education system can take care of 300,000 Lebanese children. UNICEF is establishing schools for refugee children in buses.In Jordan, UNICEF says about two-thirds of 150,000 Syrian school-age children are not in school. In Iraq, UNICEF says nine out of 10 Syrian refugee children are out of school. InsideSyria, Ms Mercado says, the educational system has been torn apart. Both UNICEF and the Syrian government say about 3,000 schools have been damaged or destroyed. For VOA Learning English, I'm AlexVillarreal.

School children are being moved out or “off-rolled” from mainstream education without being officially excluded, according to research by Sky News.
It found that the Government’s official exclusion figures are misleading and local authorities with the lowest ‘official’ exclusion rates actually have high levels of ‘informal’ exclusions.
PupilReferral Units (PRUs) are centres for excluded children.
The number of children in PRUs has risen by 10% in two years to a total of 16,732 pupils in 2018.
In some PRUs around England and Wales, up to half of the pupils are in a gang according to the commissioner.
She told Sky News: “It’s easier for gangs to be able to access vulnerable children if they are all in one place, so in my view they need to remain as far as possible in the mainstream school.”
School minister Nick Gibb said: “The number of children being excluded from school is lower than it was ten years ago but we are clear exclusions should only ever be used as a last resort, and must be reasonable and justified.
"Where pupils are excluded, the quality of education they receive should be no different than in mainstream settings."
He confirmed a review is ongoing which is ‘looking at how exclusions are used and why certain groups are disproportionally affected’.

A group of Ohio high school students learned the hard way how painful pepper spray can be. The teenagers were heard screaming in agony as the effects of the spray kicked in. The group of teens at Barberton High School willingly participated with their parents' consent on how effective and potent pepper spray can be. "It's like a volcano in my eyes!" one student shouted. The shocking video, shot by a parent, is causing a firestorm on social media. "Horrifying," one person called it.

(23 Feb 2018) PresidentDonald Trump said he has spoken to House SpeakerPaul Ryan and Senate Majority LeaderMitch McConnell about his plans to curb gun violence and bolster school safety in the aftermath of the deadly Florida high school shooting.
Trump said in a joint news conference with Australia's prime minister that making schools a "gun-free environment" doesn't increase safety.
He said security guards typically don't know and don't love the children at schools.
Separately, Trump also blamed Russia, Iran and the Syrian government for recent violence in Syria, calling it a "humanitarian disgrace."
Hundreds have been killed amid increased bombardments in recent days of the rebel-controlled eastern suburbs of Damascus. The death toll from the past week has climbed to more than 400.
On North Korea, Trump said that if sanctions don't work, it will be time for "phase two" of the pressure campaign against the nuclear-armed nation - which Trump said could be "very rough."
President Trump also said he'll leave it up to chief of staff John Kelly to decide whether his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, will keep his interim security clearance.

Canons of the Apostles

The Apostolic Canons or Ecclesiastical Canons of the Same Holy Apostles is a collection of ancient ecclesiastical decrees (eighty-five in the Eastern, fifty in the Western Church) concerning the government and discipline of the Early Christian Church, incorporated with the Apostolic Constitutions which are part of the Ante-Nicene Fathers
In the fourth century the First Council of Nicaea (325) calls canons the disciplinary measures of the Church: the term canon, κανὠν, means in Greek, a rule. There is a very early distinction between the rules enacted by the Church and the legislative measures taken by the State called leges, Latin for laws.

Butterfly Child

Butterfly Child is an Irish group led by singer/songwriter Joe Cassidy, currently based in Los Angeles, California. Described as "purveyors of shimmering, oceanic rock," they have released three full-length albums and numerous singles/EPs. Their new album Futures was released by Dell'Orso Records on 27 November 2015.

History

After playing shows throughout Ireland, Butterfly Child released their debut EP, Toothfairy, on A.R. Kane's H.ark! label in 1991. Remarkable in its "frazzled, cracked fragility", the EP caught the ear of legendary BBC DJ John Peel, who invited the band to record their first Peel Session on 12 January 1992 at Maida Vale Studios. A second EP entitled Eucalyptus was released the same year.

The band then signed to Rough Trade Records in 1993 where they released the Ghetto Speak EP and the first full-length album, Onomatopoeia. In November 1993, Butterfly Child returned to Maida Vale for a second Peel Session. Broadcast in January 1994, the session featured two songs that would later appear on the second album.

Al Jazeera

Al Jazeera (Arabic:الجزيرة‎al-ǧazīrahIPA:[æl dʒæˈziːrɐ], literally "The Peninsula", referring to the Arabian Peninsula), also known as JSC (Jazeera Satellite Channel), is a Doha-based state-funded broadcaster owned by the Al Jazeera Media Network, which is partly funded by the House of Thani, the ruling family of Qatar. Initially launched as an Arabic news and current affairs satellite TV channel, Al Jazeera has since expanded into a network with several outlets, including the Internet and specialtyTV channels in multiple languages.

Al Jazeera is among the largest news organizations with 80 bureaus around the world. Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qatar. While Al Jazeera officials have stated that they are editorially independent from the government of Qatar, this assertion has been disputed.

The original Al Jazeera channel's willingness to broadcast dissenting views, for example on call-in shows, created controversies in the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. The station gained worldwide attention following the outbreak of war in Afghanistan, when it was the only channel to cover the war live, from its office there.

Al-Jazeera (Amman)

Al-Jazeera (Amman) (Arabic: الجزيرة) is a Jordanian football club based in Amman. Founded in 1947, the team plays at the Petra Stadium.

In the early 1940s, the club consisted of boys who shared common traits like age, social status, friendship, neighborhood, education and love for sports, especially football. They began practicing football as a team with intense training, and felt that their talents merged well. The team members enhancing and developing their talents included the late Amer Mufti, Tbelt Fattah and Abdul Raouf Al Attia, Abdul-Raouf Noha and Muhammad Ali Karyoti and Honorary Nanaa and facilitate the drum and facilitating the latest Shorbaji and Taher Al-Halawani Wool and Mohammed Abu Sultan, Mohammed and Omar News vegetative and Mohammed and Ahmed and Awad Hamid ..

Butterfly Child: a collaboration by schoolchildren in Ireland and Kenya

We’re so excited to launch the video for our Christmas song “Butterfly Child”, available to buy on iTunes:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/butterfly-child-single/id1061859882
This is a special across-the-oceans collaboration by schoolchildren in Clonakilty, Ireland and schoolchildren of the nomadic Samburu tribe of NorthernKenya.
The colourful, exuberant video features the Clonakilty children of Scoil na mBuachaillí alternating verses with Thorn Tree students and combines Irish melodic influences with Sub-Saharan African chanting. The Samburu tribe is known as the Butterfly People because of its colorful robes, jewelry and head-gear, and this was the inspiration for the name of the song. The song has been written by Clonakilty primary school Principal, BarthHarrington.
The catalyst for this new Irish/Kenyan fundraising venture is Marilien Romme, Cork based daughter-in-law of the internationally acclaimed Irish-born designer Clodagh, who has devoted much of the last decade supporting the Thorn Tree Project as its Vice President. Marilien realised the potential for the Thorn Tree Project collaboration when a Christmas song by Scoil na mBuachaillí was a surprise hit in Ireland last year.
You can also show your support by donating via JustGiving at https://www.justgiving.com/Thorn-Tree
The money raised will drive much-needed expansion of the Thorn Tree project’s work providing education for children of the Samburu tribe from Kindergarten to College.

Trump: Security Guards Don't Love Schoolchildren

(23 Feb 2018) PresidentDonald Trump said he has spoken to House SpeakerPaul Ryan and Senate Majority LeaderMitch McConnell about his plans to curb gun violence and bolster school safety in the aftermath of the deadly Florida high school shooting.
Trump said in a joint news conference with Australia's prime minister that making schools a "gun-free environment" doesn't increase safety.
He said security guards typically don't know and don't love the children at schools.
Separately, Trump also blamed Russia, Iran and the Syrian government for recent violence in Syria, calling it a "humanitarian disgrace."
Hundreds have been killed amid increased bombardments in recent days of the rebel-controlled eastern suburbs of Damascus. The death toll from the past week has climbed to more than 4...

Butterfly Child: a collaboration by schoolchildren in Ireland and Kenya

We’re so excited to launch the video for our Christmas song “Butterfly Child”, available to buy on iTunes:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/butterfly-child-single/id1061859882
This is a special across-the-oceans collaboration by schoolchildren in Clonakilty, Ireland and schoolchildren of the nomadic Samburu tribe of NorthernKenya.
The colourful, exuberant video features the Clonakilty children of Scoil na mBuachaillí alternating verses with Thorn Tree students and combines Irish melodic influences with Sub-Saharan African chanting. The Samburu tribe is known as the Butterfly People because of its colorful robes, jewelry and head-gear, and this was the inspiration for the name of the song. The song has been written by Clonakilty primary school Principal, BarthHarrington.

From VOA Learning English, this is the EducationReport.
The United NationsChildren's Fund is appealing to international donors to help provide education money for Syrian schoolchildren. Safe places to learn, teachers and supplies are all lacking, and almost 2 million young Syrian students have dropped out of school.UNICEF says about 40 percent of students from grades one to nine across the nation no longer attend formal classes. UNICEF spokeswoman Marixie Mercado says about half of those children are now refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey. In the northern city of Aleppo, for example, only six percent of children of school age are in classrooms. But the school year there and in other locations began as planned on September 15th. Talk of a military strike by the United States had caused uncertainty about starting classes. But, schools opened after a strike appeared less likely. Still, many children who once walked to school are now taken there by their parents. And other families have simply left the country. Lebanon now is trying to help about 550,000 school-age Syrian refugee children. UNICEF says the Lebanese public education system can take care of 300,000 Lebanese children. UNICEF is establishing schools for refugee children in buses.In Jordan, UNICEF says about two-thirds of 150,000 Syrian school-age children are not in school. In Iraq, UNICEF says nine out of 10 Syrian refugee children are out of school. InsideSyria, Ms Mercado says, the educational system has been torn apart. Both UNICEF and the Syrian government say about 3,000 schools have been damaged or destroyed. For VOA Learning English, I'm AlexVillarreal.

School children are being moved out or “off-rolled” from mainstream education without being officially excluded, according to research by Sky News.
It found that the Government’s official exclusion figures are misleading and local authorities with the lowest ‘official’ exclusion rates actually have high levels of ‘informal’ exclusions.
PupilReferral Units (PRUs) are centres for excluded children.
The number of children in PRUs has risen by 10% in two years to a total of 16,732 pupils in 2018.
In some PRUs around England and Wales, up to half of the pupils are in a gang according to the commissioner.
She told Sky News: “It’s easier for gangs to be able to access vulnerable children if they are all in one place, so in my view they need to remain as far as possible in the mainstream school.”
School minister Nick Gibb said: “The number of children being excluded from school is lower than it was ten years ago but we are clear exclusions should only ever be used as a last resort, and must be reasonable and justified.
"Where pupils are excluded, the quality of education they receive should be no different than in mainstream settings."
He confirmed a review is ongoing which is ‘looking at how exclusions are used and why certain groups are disproportionally affected’.

A new paper by UNESCO’s global education monitoring report says that 40% of schoolchildren do not access education in a language they understand. The policy paper was released ahead of the international mother language day on 21 February. It raises the argument that being taught in a language other than their own, can negatively impact children’s learning, especially for those living in poverty. The paper has key recommendations to ensure that children are taught in a language they understand:

A group of Ohio high school students learned the hard way how painful pepper spray can be. The teenagers were heard screaming in agony as the effects of the spray kicked in.

The shocking video, shot by a parent, is causing a firestorm on social media. "Horrifying," one person called it.

(23 Feb 2018) PresidentDonald Trump said he has spoken to House SpeakerPaul Ryan and Senate Majority LeaderMitch McConnell about his plans to curb gun violence and bolster school safety in the aftermath of the deadly Florida high school shooting.
Trump said in a joint news conference with Australia's prime minister that making schools a "gun-free environment" doesn't increase safety.
He said security guards typically don't know and don't love the children at schools.
Separately, Trump also blamed Russia, Iran and the Syrian government for recent violence in Syria, calling it a "humanitarian disgrace."
Hundreds have been killed amid increased bombardments in recent days of the rebel-controlled eastern suburbs of Damascus. The death toll from the past week has climbed to more than 400.
On North Korea, Trump said that if sanctions don't work, it will be time for "phase two" of the pressure campaign against the nuclear-armed nation - which Trump said could be "very rough."
President Trump also said he'll leave it up to chief of staff John Kelly to decide whether his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, will keep his interim security clearance.

The catalyst for this new Irish/Kenyan fundraising venture is Marilien Romme, Cork based daughter-in-law of the internationally acclaimed Irish-born designer Clodagh, who has devoted much of the last decade supporting the Thorn Tree Project as its Vice President. Marilien realised the potential for the Thorn Tree Project collaboration when a Christmas song by Scoil na mBuachaillí was a surprise hit in Ireland last year.

UNICEF Appeals for Help for Syrian Schoolchildren

From VOA Learning English, this is the EducationReport.
The United NationsChildren's Fund is appealing to international donors to help provide education money for Syrian schoolchildren. Safe places to learn, teachers and supplies are all lacking, and almost 2 million young Syrian students have dropped out of school.UNICEF says about 40 percent of students from grades one to nine across the nation no longer attend formal classes. UNICEF spokeswoman Marixie Mercado says about half of those children are now refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey. In the northern city of Aleppo, for example, only six percent of children of school age are in classrooms. But the school year there and in other locations began as planned on September 15th. Talk of a military strike by the United States had caused uncertainty about starting classes. But, schools opened after a strike appeared less likely. Still, many children who once walked to school are now taken there by their parents. And other families have simply left the country. Lebanon now is trying to help about 550,000 school-age Syrian refugee children. UNICEF says the Lebanese public education system can take care of 300,000 Lebanese children. UNICEF is establishing schools for refugee children in buses.In Jordan, UNICEF says about two-thirds of 150,000 Syrian school-age children are not in school. In Iraq, UNICEF says nine out of 10 Syrian refugee children are out of school. InsideSyria, Ms Mercado says, the educational system has been torn apart. Both UNICEF and the Syrian government say about 3,000 schools have been damaged or destroyed. For VOA Learning English, I'm AlexVillarreal.

He confirmed a review is ongoing which is ‘looking at how exclusions are used and why certain groups are disproportionally affected’.

40% of schoolchildren do not access education in a language they understand

A new paper by UNESCO’s global education monitoring report says that 40% of schoolchildren do not access education in a language they understand. The policy paper was released ahead of the international mother language day on 21 February. It raises the argument that being taught in a language other than their own, can negatively impact children’s learning, especially for those living in poverty. The paper has key recommendations to ensure that children are taught in a language they understand:

Watch These High Schoolers Get Pepper Sprayed by Their Teacher

A group of Ohio high school students learned the hard way how painful pepper spray can be. The teenagers were heard screaming in agony as the effects of the spray kicked in. The group of teens at Barberton High School willingly participated with their parents' consent on how effective and potent pepper spray can be. "It's like a volcano in my eyes!" one student shouted. The shocking video, shot by a parent, is causing a firestorm on social media. "Horrifying," one person called it.

Trump: Security Guards Don't Love Schoolchildren

(23 Feb 2018) PresidentDonald Trump said he has spoken to House SpeakerPaul Ryan and Senate Majority LeaderMitch McConnell about his plans to curb gun violence and bolster school safety in the aftermath of the deadly Florida high school shooting.
Trump said in a joint news conference with Australia's prime minister that making schools a "gun-free environment" doesn't increase safety.
He said security guards typically don't know and don't love the children at schools.
Separately, Trump also blamed Russia, Iran and the Syrian government for recent violence in Syria, calling it a "humanitarian disgrace."
Hundreds have been killed amid increased bombardments in recent days of the rebel-controlled eastern suburbs of Damascus. The death toll from the past week has climbed to more than 400.
On North Korea, Trump said that if sanctions don't work, it will be time for "phase two" of the pressure campaign against the nuclear-armed nation - which Trump said could be "very rough."
President Trump also said he'll leave it up to chief of staff John Kelly to decide whether his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, will keep his interim security clearance.

Butterfly Child: a collaboration by schoolchildren in Ireland and Kenya

We’re so excited to launch the video for our Christmas song “Butterfly Child”, available to buy on iTunes:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/butterfly-child-single/id1061859882
This is a special across-the-oceans collaboration by schoolchildren in Clonakilty, Ireland and schoolchildren of the nomadic Samburu tribe of NorthernKenya.
The colourful, exuberant video features the Clonakilty children of Scoil na mBuachaillí alternating verses with Thorn Tree students and combines Irish melodic influences with Sub-Saharan African chanting. The Samburu tribe is known as the Butterfly People because of its colorful robes, jewelry and head-gear, and this was the inspiration for the name of the song. The song has been written by Clonakilty primary school Principal, BarthHarrington.
The catalyst for this new Irish/Kenyan fundraising venture is Marilien Romme, Cork based daughter-in-law of the internationally acclaimed Irish-born designer Clodagh, who has devoted much of the last decade supporting the Thorn Tree Project as its Vice President. Marilien realised the potential for the Thorn Tree Project collaboration when a Christmas song by Scoil na mBuachaillí was a surprise hit in Ireland last year.
You can also show your support by donating via JustGiving at https://www.justgiving.com/Thorn-Tree
The money raised will drive much-needed expansion of the Thorn Tree project’s work providing education for children of the Samburu tribe from Kindergarten to College.

Canons of the Apostles

The Apostolic Canons or Ecclesiastical Canons of the Same Holy Apostles is a collection of ancient ecclesiastical decrees (eighty-five in the Eastern, fifty in the Western Church) concerning the government and discipline of the Early Christian Church, incorporated with the Apostolic Constitutions which are part of the Ante-Nicene Fathers
In the fourth century the First Council of Nicaea (325) calls canons the disciplinary measures of the Church: the term canon, κανὠν, means in Greek, a rule. There is a very early distinction between the rules enacted by the Church and the legislative measures taken by the State called leges, Latin for laws.
